JMS--

I realize that you aren't going to reveal the secrets Delenn has been
keeping before their time, but perhaps, as the leading authority on
how Delenn thinks, you can give us an insight into what makes her tick
by tackling a hypothetical question:

Would Delenn have been as close-mouthed with her non-Minbari allies about
the Shadows and their motives as she has been through WWE 1-2 if, instead
of attacking various beings from other races, the Shadows had attacked the
Minbari?

"Would Delenn have been as close-mouthed with her non-Minbari allies about

Minbari?"

A darned good question.

My gut says...no, she wouldn't have.  She'd probably justify it on the
assumption that the Minbari know the full story, thus are not expendable.
